All in a game.


For once,
let us just pretend,
everything to be all right.

And while we pretend to forget,
the pain lets for once, forget,
to pretend.

Purba said...

From what I see from the mile long comments, someone's aesthetic blasphemy has earned him a legion of female fans...And I know why :)

Asma Khan said...

A secret for happiness :)

Jyoti Mishra said...

Pretend everything is all right and then forget ... this can become a fantastic talisman.

Blasphemous Aesthete said...

@Mishi
If someone kept them the way they have been kept here, and not eaten, they'd rot. Now that would be injustice. So, it isn't mean :)

@Nehha
Thank You.

@Purba
Enlighten us please. There are but a few good men. :)

@MSM
Thank You :)

@Asma
Perhaps.

@Jyoti
Carry it along then :)

Nice msg and apt pics.

Giribala said...

The lines reminded me of this poem by Emily Dickinson:

Heart, we will forget him!
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

Snow Leopard said...

Hmmmm..... (in a thoughtful way). Interesting word play.

Blasphemous Aesthete said...

@Dimitri
I ain't complaining :D

@Ria
Thank You.

@Giribala
Beautiful, frail, and always convincingly unconvincing reason from a mind to the heart.
Thank You for sharing.

A Restless Mind With A Sensitive Heart! said...

That was an occean of comments :)

Really nice one! Pretence is good at times :)

It is said that if you change ur physical posture, and do something playful, your mind adjusts to that activity and u can forget about ur pain for the time being.

btw, ever played with a balloon.. hitting it up like a ball?!!!!

tc

RESTLESS
